About this issue
This magazine issue contains serialized Victorian fiction and short stories. "The Master of Greylands," attributed to the author of East Lynne, continues with chapters XIX through its conclusion, beginning with "An Unwelcome Intruder" and progressing through revelations in chapel ruins, secret passages, and an interview that leads to a final resolution titled "Gone." The substantial "Johnny Ludlow's Papers" section features numerous shorter stories, many authored by Johnny Ludlow himself, including "Dr. Knox," "Fred Temple's Warning," and "Mrs. Todhetley's Earrings." Additional stories include works by Julia Kavanagh, Alice King, and Anne Beale. The issue incorporates poetry throughout—selections titled "Work While it is Day," "'Mid the Golden Corn," and "Over the Silver Rhine"—and features illustrations by M. Ellen Edwards, W. H. J. Boot, and H. Furniss depicting domestic and landscape scenes.
